Family

I've realized I haven't really said too much about my family on this blog, and I'm going to fix that. My family and friends are important to me, thus they all deserve equal attention from me.

...hmm...(chirping crickets heard in the background)...

Okay, just kidding. :)

My family means so much to me, and I've learned so much from them, I can't possibly imagine what it will be like when I'm off to college in...a year. Time has flown by, and I almost feel like I can hear the seconds ticking down until I'll be out on my own, without the comfort having someone around who isn't focused on grades and futures, or even, I regret to admit, someone who will help pick up the slack when I'm falling behind.
I know that we all must grow up sometime and I won't say that I don't want that. I really don't want to be stuck in the same place twenty years from now, I want to grow. At times though, it's nice still being a kid, knowing that someone will be there to catch you when you stumble.
But then again, I suppose that's why we have God.
Isn't it wonderful that we have someone so amazing that even when we're ninety years old, we will still be His children and He will still be looking after us?
So really, even though we all eventually have to venture out of the nest at some point, it's really not as if we're abandoned or without protection and guidance. He's still there and we can always rely on that.
Hmm, well this is certainly not what I was planning to write, but that's ok because I did get to write about my Father. :)
